ASTM D 2228 - 04 (Reapproved 2009) Standard Test Method for Rubber Property - Relative Abrasion Resistance by Pico Abrader Method

Current edition approved July 1, 2009. Published September 2009. Originally approved in 1963. Last previous edition approved in 2004 as D2228 – 04ε1. — 9 p.
This test method covers the determination of the abrasion resistance of vulcanized (thermoset) rubbers, thermoplastic elastomers, and elastomeric and similar materials to a standardized reference system. A standardized set of reference compounds is used to calculate relative abrasion resistance.
These reference compounds are also used to determine the relative performance, within a permissible range, of the cutting knives used in performing the test.
